Seagate Expansion 4TB Desktop External HDD - USB 3.0 for Windows and Mac with 3 yr Data Recovery Services, Portable Hard Drive (STKP4000400)

Best for personal use, transfer speed also good

Speed - 150+ mbps (ports matter usb 2.0 will give 30-35 mbps) plug it without extension cables or hubs directly into the motherboard Durability - yet to see Better than portable hdds - why? Because if anything goes wrong with the case you can open it and use the hdd with pibox sata to usb which isn't the case with portable hdds. Portability - Well keep it in a backpack and take it anywhere but just don't shake it too much. Lifespan - This is a desktop hdd, it'll last up to 10 years on moderate use. Packaging - Cardboard support was necessary to reduce the bounce while in transport if it was bubble wrap it might bounce too much and damage the hdd inside. Cardboard support on the other hand absorbs the impact and deforms without bouncing back. Still I think it could have been a bit better.

In this increasing price market this is one of the great choice. When i connected it with correct port it gave me transfer speed of 180mb/s. The only downside is it needs an additional power supply, which is risky because if your power supply cut of during copy or move command, i dont know how it will handle that. Additionally if you loose or damage its charger then it can be a trouble.

For 15K 4TB Storage capacity is a very good deal, because 2TB portable drive cost around 11K these days. Another Great thing is that it comes with 3 Years Data Recovery. It Is less Portable than these portable drives, but you can still carry it around if you need, just keep it mind that it needs to be plugged in the wall socket for power. When drive is running you can't hear anything and built is also great. Few Other things that I liked about the product. - Power Adapter comes with detachable connection pin - Data Cable has a good length

I purchased this hard drive only a few months ago, and it has already stopped being detected by my computer. The LED turns on, but the drive doesn’t show up, and it sometimes starts beeping. What has been even more disappointing is the warranty/data recovery process. Instead of a straightforward replacement or service, I’m being asked to send the drive through their in-lab recovery process-we need to send it to Netherlands bearing Custom, taxes etc costs- All potential customs duties, taxes and other charges not covered by the warranty. A warranty should provide peace of mind, but this experience has made me reluctant to buy this product again or recommend it to others. I expected much better reliability and after-sales support from a brand like Seagate.

I have been using it for 1 month . Value for money .

Very handy. Although not very portable, but makes economic sene sice semi-conductor memory has gone up 3 to 4 times. You get 4 GB in this for the cost of 1 GB of SSD.

Can say. Value for money proposition. But outer cabinet is low grade not premium. Though hard drive is pretty okay. No noise.

I received an open package. The hard drive makes a very loud scratching noise even when nothing is copying or being read.

少し音はするけど、動作共に問題なし

HD de ótima qualidade e já faz um tempo que está funcionando tudo perfeito, ótima capacidade e recomendo a quem precisar!

3.1,ya da 3.2 olmaması dezavantaj gibi dursada depolama yapacaklar için çok gerekli özellikler değil elbette bu durumda fiyata pozitif yansımış.

Works great. Is very fast. Easy to set up
